Battlefield 4 Problems Halt 'Future Projects' and Expansions

Developer DICE is "not moving onto future projects or expansions until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4," an EA representative told IGN. "We know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game – it is absolutely our #1 priority. The team at DICE is working non-stop to update the game."

We inquired with EA about how this affects the future of other DICE games, such as Star Wars Battlefront and Mirror's Edge. "We haven’t announced a ship date for Battlefront but right now the team is focused on fixing Battlefield 4," an EA spokesperson said.

Earlier this week EA delayed a PlayStation 4 patch for Battlefield 4, which saw the release of its China Rising DLC. Users reported problems with the add-on in addition to the existing issues, such as server limitations and game ejections, on consoles.

China Rising was "already in the final stages of development by the time issues began with Battlefield 4," so EA "decided to fulfill our promise to deliver it this week."

Updates for all platforms are coming soon, but EA has not specified precisely when patches will resolve Battlefield 4's issues.

"We know many of our players are frustrated, and we feel your pain," EA said. "We will not stop until this is right."
